Why didn't you Tweet me with this? WTF, man???!111

(Good job, though. I missed it, originally. Too busy trying to **** with the beakers.)

possibly possibly possibly possibly maybe maybe might might could could expects expects expects expects expects tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

I wouldn't want that at all. Just thought it was an interesting article.

I'm more a KU football fan than basketball so if KU were basically to write off football for bball then I'd be pissed.

But if the MWC can get a BCS bid then that changes everything.

I just want good teams to play. The MWC in BBall is nothing. It's football is good for KU. They can challenge for titles and get back to BCS games hopefully. ala the Big East

If you had a twitter account i would lol...

I can see how it would get lost in the shuffle easy

If you were a facebook friend of mine you would've known about it 5 hours ago.

:spock:

Bullshit.

That's like a real Chargers fan.. they don't exist. (except for Buck)

**** facebook

**** twitter

Yeah. I like KU football also but better than basketball? Not a chance.

Touche

I won't mention the fact that the information I posted on facebook came via twitter

ROFL

Aren't you on facebook?

Dr Tom : "I think the media's been good and in most cases, they've tried to check their facts. And even though sometimes they guess, sometimes they guess pretty correctly."

(yes I cherry picked that quote... but still..)

Yes

Why can't you be a KU football fan first?

We did have the greatest NFL running back of all time go to our school. He made some of us fans. Well not me, I wasn't around...

One thing that I hope comes from all of this:

Kansas fans love to point out how "irrelevant" and "insignificant" Missouri is. That's fine. We may not be able to boast about our Final Four appearances and (flukey) Orange Bowl selections. Sure.

But we could very easily leave your asses behind for good (along with Nebraska). Where would that leave you????? Kinda scary, isn't it?

Maybe you're not as infallible and mighty as you thought. Maybe Missouri isn't as lowly and insignificant as you thought.

Maybe. Just maybe. If the Big XII stays together... you'll appreciate and respect your neighbors to east a little bit more.

Okay. Just checking. :)

No reason at all. It's just that I've never seen one. (other than maybe LZen)

There's nothing wrong with it at all. Football is an infinitely superior game.

It's just that I've been on this board for 10 years, and I've NEVER ONCE heard a KU fan say they preferred football to basketball before.

You honestly believe that?

The smug ****ers will just feel emboldened. You think they're intolerable now, you ain't seen nothing yet.

If this thing falls through, Beakers will reach a level of douchebaggery occupied only by Massholes and Cubs fans.

Didn't you approve me to be on the chiefsplanet group?

Not a ****ing chance.

If it doesn't happen it'll be right back to, "HAHA Of course the Big Ten didn't wan't your sorry asses."

Best strike while the iron's hot. Finish them now.

Well I'll agree with one thing. After this (and I think the Big 12 will be staying together) things will be different among all the area schools.

And I think it'll be for the better.

Yes there will be some of that. But it'll be gone the moment a new 2012 football and basketball schedule is released and both have our teams playing each other on it.

Exactly

You haven't been around here long, have you?

That's strange.

Even at KU football games they yell "Home of the Chiefs!"

I would figured some of them would be on this board.

Kansas basketball is just too frustrating for me sometimes. Although I'm a fan I feel the team has too many years where the potential is far from fulfilled.

I should probably appreciate the Conference Championships more but I weigh so much on the end of year tourney that it kills that there's been so many early exits in recent years.

I don't think it will be an issue, but even if this happens, we'll always have the PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US!!!! :deevee: stories to deflect them.

I just don't want my children to not be able to watch Missouri football ****ing dogwalk KU every damn year... that's all.

I'm talking about real life. Not this board.

Things like this move quickly in the real world. Once it's all over things will adapt fast.

If separated KU will start concentrating on winning the MWC and MU will try and figure out how they will ever defeat OSU, Notre Dame, and Penn State.

Do they watch the first half, realize they're not at a Chiefs game, and that's why they leave?

If you look at the history, it's 50/50.

The call was made to Neb.

The call to Mizzou was just to be polite. (If it did indeed happen)

Mizzou leaving has nothing to do with the Big 12 collapsing. I think that's become very clear.

Think MU football is better than KU.

ROFL

Serious question, does MU have any NFL hall of famers? KU has 3.

Yeah, that Kellen Winslow guy wasn't too bad.

You're an idiot.

All I care about is Missouri getting away from the Texas League. The Texas League collapsing in our wake is just gravy.

Did Nebraska jumping in help it reach critical mass? Of course. But we lit the fuse. Who knows if Nebraska would have done anything on its own?

Why do some of you insist on linking the sports with the expansion stuff?? Trophies or lack of trophies has nothing to do with who the Big 10 wants.

KU fans should be humbled because Missouri is the only DI school in its state and is closer to St. Louis? KU fans should respect Missouri more because the shared KU/KSU/MU space around KC isn't as valuable as St. Louis?

If the locations were flipped, the Big 10 would be interested in Kansas. Missouri will be no more or less significant tomorrow if it goes to the Big 10.

Yeah, the scary part is that Kansas could be less significant tomorrow, but that has nothing to do with appreciating Missouri. If Missouri and only Missouri leaves, the Big 12 might not collapse. Even if it does, it has nothing to do with Missouri's significance or Missouri's power, outside of potential televisions tuned into the BTN.

Along with the "fluky BB NC" post and others, maybe it's a few of you who should be getting over yourselves.

Damnit. :cuss:

Good one. I forgot him.

Tight end.

Oh I know... I didn't mention it, but I don't have children yet.. so I'm talking about the future.

If the Big XII doesn't disband, the north will be dominated by Missouri and Nebraska for a long time.

Missouri is going to blow past Kansas in football for the over the next decade, beginning this year.

Aww, so after days of mocking and bullshit, you'll all of a sudden be the victim? Cry me a ****ing river.

Lit the fuse? What you did was get surprised by the news like everyone else, fell out of the recliner yelling "What! no shit?!? Big 10? Hell, sign me up!"

I don't think Eric Wright will ever make the HOF, but he does have four Super Bowl rings to ease his pain.

FYP

Yes! And now that we have Pioli the Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl threes times in the next decade!

That argument works fine as well. Missouri (the state) is more desirable than Kansas (the state).

I bet Wickedson owns a Matt Cassel jersey.

ROFL

FYP

Eazy E went to Mizzou?

Alden started working on this a couple weeks after the Orange Bowl snub.

Mizzou didn't just stumble into anything. While Perkins was busy lying, cheating and stealing, Alden was actually working towards bettering his University.

I hate that I have to defend Alden here, but he did a great job.

I'll bet money that Maclin will be a contender.

Roger Wehrli was a real POS, too.

You'll lose that money.

I've only recently began to realize what a petty little douche you are - before that, you were just the guy who started the Royals threads.

Obviously, by "we" I meant Missouri. There was obviously contact between Missouri and the Big 10 at some level long before Nebraska entered the picture. Do I know what that contact was? Of course not. Neither do you.

Was that clear enough for you, dumbass?

HOF'er? i dont know, i see him getting hurt or being a solid #2 wr

Listen mother ****er. You could be playing conference games in Laramie, Wyoming a few years from now. Think you're going to be able to compete with Missouri in recruitment then? Think you're going to be able to compete with Missouri on the ****ing field then?

No. You don't.

And, that has nothing to do with Kansas fans feeling humbled and needing to show more respect to MU, or MU being more powerful with respect to trophies.

As far as the states, I've spent plenty of time in both, and it's all pretty much the same to me.

You stole that from Bug.:)

I saw it late on twitter, #fail :(

No, no, no...
It's Tuck Fwitter.

Okay, so maybe I'm not the greatest evaluator of talent.

yep, just checked Wikipedia. You guys got both of em.

fuck you cheerfull happy pukes!!1!!!!1





from an Iowa State fan who now looks forward to ? maybe joining up with the missouri valley and UNI and powerhouse Creighton? This is a big shitburger!!!

Dude, you have crossed over into true BEASTMODE!

I love how the MU fans feel that MU football "has arrived". Yes, you are better now then you have been in a long time and I give you props. But you're no better than KU. And if KU does end up in the MWC playing with teams like Boise St., TCU, and Utah something tells me they will have no trouble playing MU year in and year out with equal talent levels...


Missouri Football

All-time record 612–512–52 (.543)
Bowl record 12–15–0 (Most recently loss to Service Academy )Navy 35-13

I hear Evansville, IN and Carbondale, IL are great places to visit. :D

Seriously, if this does happen, good luck. No one seems to be talking about ISU's place in all of this.

This Big 12 commish we get tarred and feathered now. Most likely the remaining 4 go where they can. I hope they don't try to get a new 8 to join as i don't think they could draw the right teams. Plus the conference would need a new commish and Carl Peterson is looking for a job and is buddies with Perkins.

whatever that "something" is........ it's ****ing wrong.

Beebe is tucked safely away under the Texas AD's desk.

MVC is a happy little conference with its share of cool fans.

haha... touche

Don't worry dude.

Texas is not going to the Pac-10.

If Nebraska leaves they will move OU to the North and pick up another school (TCU).

Doesn't matter if Missouri stays or leaves.

Thanks.

Big rebound last year in FB hiring Paul RHoades. Chizdick brought in excitement and money to the program but thankfully Auburn did ISU a favor there. Rhoades may not ever be great but last year was a big turn around and he has the exp at Pitt and Auburn as a DC that helps recruiting and made a good hire in Bearnum as his DC from S. Fla. and the young kid from Rice as OC. Mens BB is obviously in shambles and rebuilding w/ Fred Hoiberg. He kept his best recruiter TJ Otzelburger who held on to all the good recuits. The scuttlebutt is former UNC Charlotte HC Bobby Lutz will join the staff too so that will be huge for a guy in Hoibergs shoes and hardly no exp. They ponied up to keep a VB coach and Bill Fennelly as WBB coach stays but those types of coaches take a hike if they join a conference that doesn't generate the money to pay them. Not to mention recruiting.

Sign of the times i guess. Can't say this has shit to do with student athletes. ISU is always a top 10 Engineering/Ag school but doesn't draw the TV market or prestige thats for sure.

I still have porn though.

no shit. one shot gets him in the head and dodds in the pecker.

I don't mind the athletics aspect of it. Shit happens. They are one of the top schools in the country though and will lose money not being part of the big 12 conference and it will hurt the economy which is already hurting.

How many schools in the MVC even play football? I know Creighton doesn't.

i think wichita state won the national title last year.

Just from a football standpoint, would it really be that horrible for Iowa State to go to a smaller conference? I'm not trying to be a dick here, but generally you guys get nuked by pretty much everybody every year. Wouldn't it be better to play in a conference where you're competitive?

If college sports were fair, there would be a Super Conference for programs like Texas, Florida, USC, etc. and the one who sucks the peniss would just play each other and leave the rest of us alone. God, I'd love that. Seriously, what business does a school with a $150 million sports budget have playing in the same conference with a school that has a $40 million sports budget? Yeah, that's fair. :shake:
